Dash Vent Cleaning

Is there an easy way to pop out the dashboard vents for cleaning? Any hidden clips or fasteners? I've tried prying, but don't want to force it for fear of breaking something...

why dont you use a paintbrush to dust the vents off and have a vacum cleaner nozzel in the other hand to suck up the dust?

OMG 
let me guess, you use floss on the tire treads
Clean vents? I've never done that before, but fair play to you for taking the effort

I just use the brush attachment on the end of the hoover hose.

Yeah, man! They're right up there at eye level. When the sun hits them the wrong way you can see halfway down the duct. Looks nasty!320Touring wrote:Clean vents? I've never done that before, but fair play to you for taking the effort

I usually have the blower on all the time anyway, so air never has time to drop dust etc.

seriously though, just get the duster on them and then when you go over with the hoover just take a bit more time and it gets rid of the thick of it.

Use some cotton wool buds or very small paint brush.

I think what he's trying to say is that he wants to get to the ducts BEHIND the vents to clean the crap out...
